It seems to me that this gulp plugin should be completely usable without a physical file to source the constants from, because you can pass an object via the constants option. But the current setup doesn't really allow it.

I've added a noFile option that allows the plugin to act as a vinyl adapter, meaning it can be used in place of gulp.src. For example:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var ngConstant = require('gulp-ng-constant');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var constants = { hello: 'world' };

gulp.task('config', function () {
  return ngConstant({name: 'my.module.config', constants: constants, noFile: true})
    .pipe(uglify())  
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

The default outputted filename will be constants.js.

This is a great idea, and you are right, this is a potential use for the plugin.

It would be way better if we could automatically detect the use case, I would like the plugin to act smart but allow you to force the functionality with an option.
